Tonight was good but not amazing. Next week looks fantastic- I can't wait to watch it with the special audio.

It also felt a bit "what if Kill the Moon but Dickensian" (plus a bit of... I don't know, what's another episode where they set a giant creature free? The Beast Below?) to me, but yeah, I enjoyed it

Yeah it was bascially the Beast Below set in the past. Still, I love the Doctor/Amy relationship in that episode (even if the ep wasn't great in other departments) and I thought the Doctor/Bill relationship shone here.

That end sequence with the creature reminded me of French and Saunders using buckets of water to simulate the Titanic sinking in that sketch.

The creature is thrashing in the Thames and the doctor and Bill looked like they'd stood too close to someone splashing in the bath. Lmao.

Am I the only one who got Pinocchio vibes from the period setting and a creature under water? Lmao. It must have been the sequence showing its eye open was reminiscent.

Great episode, the best so far! Honestly I'm plesantly surprised from the preview I wasn't expecting much but I really did enjoy it. Next week looks pretty good.

It was cute, it felt very season 1/2, especially at the end when the kids lived happily ever after

although bye @ how unfazed Kitty was when her friend died in front of her

That was a lot better than the preview suggested. The whole racism thing was really nicely written too.

3.96m for last night though :/

I thought it was good, not memorable in the long run and far too similar to episodes like 'The Beast Below' but good. I'm really liking Bill as a character.

(personally I thought the last fifteen minutes or so were pretty shoddy, but it was good overall)

I liked this episode, I noticed Nardole's relationship with the Doctor has become quite sour, compared to Christmas
